Reviewer Comments:
Once again, despite really hot weather, River Retreat was just that - a lovely respite for a late January holiday. The home is clean and tidy. The kitchen is well stocked with the physical items for cooking. The beds are comfortable and the water pressure divine. A small backyard space for those nights when you just want to sit out and enjoy a wine under the night skies.

Despite a faulty lock on the toilet door, a non-functioning extractor fan in the toilet and very poor lighting in most areas, the house was very well presented. I would suggest single beds provide for a much more flexible sleeping arrangement. In spite of this, I would book again.

The River Retreat is in an ideal location in Kalbarri. A short walk to popular restaurants, the beach and the pubs! The kitchen is well equipped - best I have seen! Definitely do BYO toilet paper/bin bags. Beds are comfy with clean sheets and good pillows. No aircons in the bedrooms, but closing most doors will allow cool airflow down into bedrooms. There is no backyard for kids to run in, just a little sitting area with a BBQ and clothesline, though the table and chairs are situated in a nice narrow garden space.

Spacious, with a great layout and very clean. Complete cutlery, crockery, cooking utensils and bath towels were provided. Dining and lounge provided great relaxing area, with internet access and great TV viewing options.
The house is tidy with a great location. Sitting out on the front lawn looking north was stunning.
As mentioned great location. Short walking distance to most locations in the town . Ray White staff very helpful. The house neat and tidy .Would have no hesitation renting in future .

Had a lovely 5 day stay here at River Retreat. Property a short stroll to Chinamans Beach and the shops of Kalbarri, perfect location. Has an enclosed backyard for the dogs. 3 good sized bedrooms, with nice comfortable bedding. Caroline the property agent was extremely helpful. Recommend booking directly with Kalbarri Escapes/Contessi Real Eastate as cheaper tahn other sites
What a perfect house for our family. The best location, being so close to the beach and river. This wonderful little house had everything we needed, plus more! We were all so very happy with everything at the River Retreat, and we look forward to another stay hopefully next year! Thank you!! 💚
